Oh gosh, finally news that's got nothing to do with patents or smartphones or the comparing of male sexual organs. Haiku news! Michael Lotz has added preliminary support for WPA to Haiku, taking the first steps towards making the Haiku wireless stack a lot more useful.

I have an EeePC 1001PXD netbook and have just built the latest GCC4 build of Haiku with wpa_supplicant installed.

Did you install wifi drivers for your devices? Due to licensing issues with wifi drivers and their firmware, many of them cannot be shipped in a "working" state with Haiku (blame your hardware manufacturers for this...)

So, if launch a terminal and run: "install-wifi-firmwares.sh" that should prompt you for the license agreements to download the firmwares.

If that still doesn't allow your wifi hardware to work, you may just be out of luck until a driver is available... you can always file a bug report and include the output of your hardware device listing.
